Hi,
I'm new to puppy, everything seems fine but the video adapter.
I'm trying to install NVIDIA-96.43.13-k2.6.30.5-1.pet to puppy 4.3.1 on Compaq Tc1000 tablet with a Geforce2 Go adapter. Install ends "successful", but after restarting x I get a black screen and cannot go back. I have tried browserlinux 3.5.3 (4.1.2 kernel) with correct pet, same
result.
I can't go further to explore and use puppy, need your help...

I installed NVIDIA-71.86.11-k2.6.30.5-1.pet on an old pc (TNT2 M64 is the gpu) running puppy linux 4.31 frugall install. Everything worked ok with the install. I restarting x, x failed to start, restarted puppy again x failed to start. After running what auriza said in a previsous post:

Code:

# depmod-FULL
# modprobe nvidia
# nvidia-xconfig
# xwin

X started without any problem after this and so far it didn't do any problems.

Another Google search (I almost never get help with forum searches) turned up another site that didn't require a password. Regretfully, the driver didn't work for me, and I started a new thread about that adventure.

I'm Running NOP 4.3.1 w/ a Full install Finally after having a Lot of Trouble Upgrading from NOP 4.1.3 Full install which I Couldn't install grays' NVidia-96.43.7 Pet nor the Latest NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.14-pkg1.run Package from the NVidia Website.

Now having Upgraded to NOP 4.3.1 I've Tried Both Grays NVIDIA-96.43.13-k2.6.30.5 Pet & the Official Proprietary NVidia Run Package, & in All Cases X Wont Run the LCD Screen Changes from Black & then a white band starts from the bottom Horizonal edge & then the Perimeter of the Screen & then the wHole Screen Turns White?!?

What's Happening? Can I Edit the xorg.conf File? Can AnyBody Help Please?

I am running 4.31, full install on a 800MHz Celeron, 256MB RAM. I have a GeForce2 MX400 card.

I have tried the .pet package with no success. I have also tried the driver from the Nvidia site with the devx431 module using the instructions by Iguleder. Both times from a clean install. My xorg.conf file shows the driver as "nvidia".

When I reboot I am back to the VESA driver although the xorg.conf file still shows "nvidia". When I try to run nvidia-xconfig I get an "unable to parse" error message and it does not run.

When I run nvidia-settings the GUI window pops up but there are no options to change and this is displayed in the console window:

ERROR: NV-CONTROL extension not found on this display.
ERROR: Unable to determine number of NVIDIA GPUs on ':0.0'.
ERROR: Unable to determine number of NVIDIA Frame Lock Devices on ':0.0'.
ERROR: Unable to determine number of NVIDIA VCSCs on ':0.0'.
